The Davis Conn Emi ttee Charges the
Republicans TO Gather Thursday.
Senator Daniels, chaFman of the joint
Republican committee to call a caucus for
the nomination OF a candidate for United
States senator, has issued call for joint
caucus in the house chamber at p. IN.
Thursday. This is considered a Davis
move. 1t is certainly remarkable that all
the gentlemen constituting the committee.
Senators Daniels, Goodrich, NJ. Johnson,
Comstock and Hall, and Representatives
Rogers, Reece, Arnold. Anderson and Will
son. are Davis men, as every one of them
has said positively. II will vote for c. K.
Davis" Davis estimates his strength at
81, which his friends think is conserv-
ative. In this estimate he counts several
well-known Democrats, who are out-and-
out Davis men.
The Mcmillan men seem to be afraid to
talk. DR.. David Day. his relative and
chief henchman, says: 1T isn't always the
custom to tell our estimates. is it? If we
had over rs we would tell you pretty soon."
DR.. Day had long conversation with c.
A. Gilman, in corner of the Merchants
barrOOm, yesterday about supper time,
with Maj. Wilson as confederate listener
Mr.. Gilman had just previously told a
GLOBE reporter:
mo, am not opposing G. K Davis: have
just been down here working for few
friends who want minor offices, and to whom
l am under obligations. As I have those
matters all settled up | am now going home,
and Sha' MT probably come down here again,
at least not for some time. / am not candi-
date
1T is two weeks before the balloting COM
mences," whispered Maj. Wilson, however,
not long afterwards, land Davis chances are
rlxyo ind % IInn nha-
bly, intended to say las WINDOWS were when
that gentleman once thought he had q clear
walkcver."
Gov. Davis was as active as ever yester-
day afternoon. He feels very hopeful, and
anticipates an easy victory. But his foes
were near at hand, for Sam Hill had lust
taken a run down from Minneapolis" and
was talking to everybody he met. although
he once shook hands with Mr.. Davis"
''II tell you frankly" said Mr.. Hill to an
inquisitor, "McMllian's chances are better
than ever. This morning thought things
looked little uufavorable, but this afternoon
the outlook is stronger than ever
NELSON THE ONLY SALVATION,
Judge a. j. D. Baker was working
among the Ramsey Democrats,
THE only salvation for Minnesota he
said. oratoricaly, lis Knute Nelson. If they
will only bring out Knute Nelson. He is an
ADLER and better man than Davis and his
equal as a lawyer. Besides this ne is all right
on the tariff question, and God knows Mime
sofa don't want a man like Davis
d. B. Searle, of st. Cloud, and D. F.
Morgan, of Albert Lea. were conversng to-
gether. Mr.. Searle, asked what he was
doing here. replied: 1--WE are looking up
the state prison matter. for we want to get
the prison at St. Cloud" He declared he
was for Davis, and had been all the time
r. H. Freeman. of st. Cloud, said the
public sentiment of st. Cloud was all for
Davis.
'If Gilman or Nelson think they can run
